St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1887-06-26

Il a
| or later st. Paul was destined to stand
out as one of the most prominent of the
| American cities. He at once engaged IN
real estate and has succeeded in build
| ing up very large business. Col.
| James III. Davidson is what might
not appropriately be called rusher.
1t is doubtful if there is another man in
the city with so many irons in the fire
as has Col. Davidson. Besides all his
labors in real estate he finds here and
there time to address temperance
meeting or Sabbath school, OF to crate
at Grand Army meeting. He can get
over more ground and through more
business in a given space of time than
almost any man in st. Paul. Besides
his property interests in st. Paul he has
a very extensive property i'll Palmyra,
Wis, that occupies much of his time.
There are many people who appear to
think that real estate men, when de-
scribing real estate that they want to
sell, have no regard for the truth. In
many towns this is true, but not in st.
with these untruthful fellows, but thanks
to the influence of NJ. f. b. Northrop,
they have all mended their ways so that
now, through his truth-telling example
and his commanding high moral princi-
Piles and lofty virtue, it would be a
moral impOSSibility for any of our deal
erS to deVlate from the StricteSt adher-
ence to the truth. Mr.. Northrop's life
is shining example, kind of pillar of
fire, beautiful Parian marble monu-
ment, as it were, set up among his fell
low mortals to direct them and to lead
them. He has recently returned from
Helena, and the stories told by him of
what he saw are somewhat rotund and
q pi 81 va Wi tS
that they are truthful.
H. S. Fairchild has the reputation of
being one of the Oldest and probably the
most experienced real estate dealer in
st. Paul. He commenced here years
ago, when this city was much smaller
than it is now and has been all through
the ups and downs of business. He has
seen hundreds of men make money in
real estate and as many loose it in the
same way. Lots that you could not give
away for the taxes he has seen sold for
$4,000 or $40, 1000. Property that he of
fered years ago for few hundred or a
few thousand dollars he has seen sold
in all parts of the city for ten and
twenty times what he asked. He takes
pleasure in exhibiting to people little
pamphlet he published several years
ago. This little publication contains
long list of real estate and the price for
which each piece is offered for sale. 1t
is very Interesting little publication
indeed and gives the most intelligent
and striking contrast of prices that can
be set forth between the past and the
present.
George III. Hazard is versatile man.
He can run railroad, real estate Of
flee or Red Rock camp-meeting just
according to the demands of the circum-
Cfn on elf md ir,n Drk.,
tic manner.
George S. Heron dips into real estate
now and then in kind of gentlemanly
way and makes money.
j. b. Hubbell has been into almost
every thing that pays. For while
when he lived in Mankato he was presi-
dent of the agricultural society there
and managed it with good judgment
and in a manner that made a grand sue
cess of it. He afterwards went west
and was engaged in railroad contracts.
He finally came to st. Paul where he
engaged in real estate and has been sue
ceSSful.
When the divine Architect completed
the construction of this world he
looked over the work and was greatly
pleased with it, but he found one thing
lacking and that was balance wheel
of truth, honesty and integrity and
created A. ID. Warner, after which he
pronounced the work perfectly salts
factory.
Of all the real estate men Mr.. Patrick
Kiegher is the only one that talks clean,
pure, Partisan French.
A. r. Kiefer spoiled a firSt-claSs clerk
of the court to make the politeSt real
estate man in the business.
Samuel Mayall has the reputation of
being the largest renter of property in
st. Paul, with perhaps the exception of
Mr.. Langevin.
T. B. Marrett varies his real estate
business cares with the delights of
breeding trOtting horses, of which he
has many specimens of the very best
species. He is gentleman withall.
James Middleton will not rest easy till
he has improved DaytOn'S bluff by
adjoining it with parks and boulevards
and other landscape decorations.
Of all the real estate dealers in St.
Paul there is not one probably that is
is better known than j. W. McClung,
though there are many others that have
been in the business much longer. He
agency in establishing and maintaining
what are known as building associations.
Mr.. McClung, within the last year or
two, has gone into the business very
heavily indeed, and has bought and sold
on a very large scale. He is a power, a
force, wherever he is.
Ansel Oppenheim is one of the most
Indifferent dealers in real estate we
have in St. Paul. He don't appear to
care much whether he sells or not, but
his property goes all the time, though,
whether he makes any effort to sell or
not. The secret of all this is that he
looks out in the first place to get hold
of good things, just such kind of prop
erty as is wanted, and then it sells itself
and he does not need to do much to-
wards diSpOsing of it. That's his strong
point.
S. G. Sloan is the most genteel and
best dressed real estate man in ST. Paul
and drives the best Kentucky horses in
the city. He manages the StimSOn eS-
tate, which embraces some of the most
valuable acre property in and around
st. Paul.
William Bircher, the champion hand
Ter of real estate in West st. Paul, was
formerly prominent member of the
Great Western band, and he was an az
fist too.
DR.. J. II. Bryant is one of the heav-
lest dealers in the city. 1t was only
few years ago that he engaged in the
business, but he struck in deep and was
one of the very first ones to take hold
of South ST. Paul, out of which he has
made a very large amount of money in
deed.
